Born in Vienna, Austria, Christine settled in Canada in 1964. Her love of the Canadian landscape and her European background influence all aspects of her art. Having a second residence in the south Algonquin Ontario Canada area gives her many reasons and references to create paintings.

In general most of her paintings are of landscapes, her watercolours are florals and historical homes. For many years, her work was detailed, familiar and traditional. Now some of her art represents intuitive interpretations of nature-based abstracts: swirling masses of water, enormous mountains, Northern lights and tiny images using inks, oils and mixed media. Christine also creates jewellery and small decorative art objects that make great gifts for any occasion
